Spotify reportedly launching in Germany by mid-March

Spotify is launching in Germany within the next two weeks, according to a report by German tech blog Netzwertig.com. The streaming service has been gearing up for a launch in the country for a while, and most recently hired a local PR representative. But with Germany, Spotify is entering a market that has proven to be challenging for some.

Netzwertig was told by multiple sources that Spotify’s launch in Germany will happen within two weeks, with one person pointing to 03/13 as a likely launch date. The blog wasn’t able to get a confirmation from the company. However, there are other signs pointing to a timely launch as well: the company already has an office in Berlin, and it recently hired Groupon’s former German PR manager to run public relations for the German-language market.
